In American English, the word “international” is commonly used
as a euphemism for “foreign national.” According to the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security, a foreign national is “an individual who is a
citizen of any country
other than the United States.” On the contrary, in the European Union a
foreign national is someone who is not a citizen of the country in
which they are living. So let’s not be confused by the title; this
article documents ten beautiful woman that are not from the United
States. It will examine a new wave of international models, actresses,
and celebrity pop stars. As you can imagine, it was hard to limit the
article to ten with so many gorgeous woman. I attempted to categorize
the ladies by celebrity status and selected people from all over the
world.
